Greenhouse had a defining influence on my life. So many of my childhood memories involve Greenhouse. Not only did I make lifelong friends, but I gained a love for learning and a passion for Christian education. Greenhouse was a place that I felt accepted, valued, and challenged. My years in the Rhetoric program shaped my academic career as I discovered my love of history and my desire to eventually teach high school students myself. Greenhouse will always have a special place in my heart and I am so thankful for the education and instruction I received there.
